Data Security and Privacy

Jeffco public schools K-12 education plays an important role in the development of our students on their path to becoming successful citizens. We adhere to a strong set of values and have adopted and implemented core policies and practices that help guide the Districts operations in our quest to deliver quality education to our students.

The threat to our information assets has never been so great. Vulnerabilities range from a stolen laptop to denial of service attacks or even a misconfigured password. Yet, small changes in behavior can have a huge impact for information security.

Jeffco has always been a leader in protecting technology. The District was one of the first in the country to have a dedicated information security team whose primary mission is to: define policies and processes protecting technology, implement and monitor security toolsets, and monitor the environment for risk.

The increasing complexity of our interconnected systems and data sharing agreements has also created the need for dedicated resources to assist in managing the vast quantities of information used by District staff members every day. Jeffco now has dedicated central resources focusing on privacy and data governance.

In order to be transparent with our families at Stott, we have made available a dynamic spreadsheet listing all of the apps and software used by your students at school.
